“I took my CNA certification as a personal challenge, to confirm to myself that I had been successful in my ongoing learning as a nurse since graduation. I renewed my certification because it demonstrates to those around me my commitment to refining my practice and to lifelong learning.” – Laura Neal, RN, BN, MN, CMSN(C), CD
